MAGAZINE DRUM-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,769, dated November 21, 1882.

Application filed April 4, I882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: V

Be it known that we, GEORGE H. BARBOUR and MERRILL B. MILLS, of Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in- Magazine Drum-Stoves; and we declare the following to be a full, clear and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

Our invention consists of com binations of devices and appliances hereinafter specified, and more particularly pointed out in the claims. In the drawings, Figure l is a view in elevation of the magazine-section of a magazinestove embodying our invention. Fig. 2 .is a cross-section of the same.

Heretofore in the manufacture of heating- 2o stoves it has been customary to make the outer shell of the magazine-section of castiron, then to ornament its exterior by plating and polishing the same with nickel or other non oxidizable metal. In use, however, it 2 was developed that the heat would soon discolor and tarnish the said plated surfaces. It has been remedied to a considerable extent by making the outer shell of the magazine-section separate from the wall of the stove, so as to admit a current of air at the base of this shell and permit the latter to circulate up between.

the wall of the stove and this exterior shell upon the magazine-section, there being provided openings at the top for the exit of the heated air into the room. It has been'difficult, however, to impart to the cast-metal surface a very high degree of polish, and as a result the surface is not so attractive as it would other- I wise be.

40 It is the object of this invention to produce a shell for the magazine-section which shall be capable of receiving a very high degree of polish. To this end we propose to make the shell with an exterior surface-shell of rolled or spun metal, preferably of brass or copper, susceptible of receiving a very high polish, and to plate the said metal with nickel, silver, or gold. A metaliof this character, when so plated, has a brilliantluster which it is impos- 5o sible to impart to a ground and polished surface of east-iron. This entire surface-shell may be made of one piece of such metal, riveted or brazed at the back, and be made plain, or ornaments may be rolled upon them, and this may he slipped over a cast-iron supportingshell. Instead of making this exteriorsurfaceshell in a single piece, it may be made in a seriesof bands of greater or less breadth, all of which may be ornamented; or some may be ornamented and others plain, said bands being united by rivets or by brazing, or by a lapjoint, so as to make any band continuous; or, the bands being narrow, they may be spun into shape from a single piece and without joint. These different bands may be so shaped 6 as to engage at their edges as ordinary stovepipejoints engage with each other. 8.), also. instead of being superposed upon a cast metal shell, it is entirely practicable, and we propose generally to superimpose it upon an inner shell of sheet-iron, which is at once light, cheap, and easily shaped to fit into adjacent partsas, for instance, the metallic cup at the top of the stove and a metallic ring at the base of the magazine-section.

In the drawings, the figures of which represent the upper portion of a magazine-stove, A indicates the ordinary magazine-section of the stove-shell, F being the magazine.

B is a separate removable shell about the magazine-section, an air-space, b, being between it and said section.

0 is a metallic ring, which rests upon a perforated flange projecting from the magazine, and forms the bottom of this removable sec- 85. tion, and D D a top frame which finishes the upper'end of the section and unites it to the top of the stove. The sections 1) and D are suitably perforated to facilitate the circulation of air. 0'

E represents the exterior surface-shell. It consists, as above explained, of one or more plain or plain and ornamental bands, 0.

The shell B, surfaceshell E, and supporting-ring and frame may be detached readily from the magazine-section, thus making this ornamental feature portable, so that it can be stored away as silver-ware is stored. until the following season.

WVe do not confine ourselves solely to the IOC bright bands about the stovemay be thus made of spun metal shaped to conform to the casting, and so laid over the latter and turned at its edges to hold it secure.

What I claim is I 1. A stove-shell having an exterior surfaceshell of spun or rolled metal, which has its exterior surface plated with a different metal, substantially as described. 2. A stove-body having a surrounding shell separated therefrom by an air-space, and provided with an exterior surface-shell of spun or rolled metal, plated on the outside with a different meta], substantially as described.

3. A stove-shell having an exterior surfaceshell composed of two or more bands of spun or rolled metal, the exterior faces of which are plated with a different metal, substantially as described.

4. The combination, with a stove-body, of

two removable projectin grin gs or flanges, and a separate shell supported between said rings or flanges and provided with an exterior surfaceshell of spun or rolled metal plated on its outside with a different metal, substantially as described.

5. The combination, with a stove-body, of two projecting rings or flanges perforated for the passage of air, and a separate shell supported by said rings or fianges,and separated from the stove-body by an air-space which is in communication with the perforations of said rings or flanges, said separate shell being provided with an exterior surface-shell of spun or rolled metal, plated on its outside with a different metal, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we sign this specification in the presence of two Witnesses.
